all members of the aristocratic class are in london, england for a summer ball. make sure you mingle, for your future husband/wife could be among the crowd.

hEy there. start whenever. this is a lot like tor where your character can go anywhere they want, there’s a lot more freedom to it. this will be open monday-friday and closed on the weekends.

oh hey emily :)

i can see some icons now so i think it's getting bettet

*better

yay. i guess i’ll just start even though no ones here

i just have really bad internet connection

Elise does the waltz. Even with years of lessons, she’s still not as good as her mother would like her to be.

hEy

caroline crawley has just made her debut during the previous winter Season. these balls weren’t new to her, and she easily went around the room, introducing herself to everyone she could.

had*

ah, sorry i disappeared again, the spot with internet connection moved

andromeda walked into the room and looked around. she wasn't looking forward to this, as she found balls uninteresting and pointless.

lucius crowley had been lurking in a corner the whole night. he didn't really like taking part in these balls, but preferred to watch other people enjoy them.

claire durham sat at a table, watching the flurry of activity at the ball. she had never liked to put herself out there, like all of the other girls did, and she didn’t see how she was supposed to find a husband at these balls.

Elise sits down at a table after what felt like endless hours of dancing.

hi everyone

it!s been a hot minute :))

ahhh hi

Jacob made his way over to Claire’s table hesitantly. He wasn’t super wealthy so he’d been nervous to talk to anyone. So he decided to give it a shot. He sat next to her and said, “not much of a party person?”

Haley was out dancing by herself, having the time of her life. She was never a traditional girl. She didn’t like it, and that was why she wasn’t attractive to most guys. But she loved her way of dancing, so she did it.

Zia made her way into to ball, examining everyone. she was used to balls, but they had gotten boring for her. she made her way around the room, nodding to people. she had become less social throughout the years.

hey, i probably won't be on for a few days cause apparently it's gonna be at least a week before we get power back

aw ok

i'm at work today though so i do have internet connection here

i just can't be on much

“i suppose not,” claire said with a small smile. “i’ve always preferred to be reading a book, to be quite honest with you.”

ok. i’m really surprised i didn’t lose power because everyone else around us did😳

same

we always lose power but we didn’t this time 😂

Jacob nodded. “I definitely get that. I’m more of an introvert myself.” he chuckled and held out his hand. “Jacob Mayne.”

oof i rarely lose power

ack lucky

so i probably can't rp right now but i'll stop in and say something whenever i get the chance

ok!

ok :)

heyyyy

claire smiled slightly and shook his hand. “claire durham,” she said.

jack talbot walked into the ballroom, having recently come back from exploring the vast estate. he didn’t care much for these parties, but he could easily talk to the ladies that attended them.

Jacob kissed her hand softly. "Well, we are at a ball. What do you say we dance? Unless you wanna read a book." He smirked.

Elise sips some wine and watches the couples dance around the ballroom.

claire suppressed a smile. “as long as you’re a good enough dancer, i can consider it,” she teased.

jack made his way over to elise. “hello there,” he paused for a moment, “tired out from all of that dancing?”

Jacob laughed and helped her up. “I’d say I’m pretty good.”

“well, i guess you’re in luck,” claire said with a small smile, allowing him to lead her to the dance floor.

Jacob took her hand and put his other hand on her waist as they got to the dance floor. and then he started dancing. “hey, you’re not so bad yourself.”

“i guess i can thank my governess for that,” claire said. “she forced me to learn when all i would do was spend time in the library.”

can i join?? i’m gonna join

Alexandria walked into the room thing.

Alexandria is very dramatic when she enters.

guys i can finally rp here :)

Elise rolls her eyes at the “show off” couple.

yay elisza

eMily jack said something to elise :))

Jacob laughed. "really? lucky you. i was self taught and honestly, you're much better."

ack i wish we could all be on at once at some pointttt >.<

i'll be on all day every day now that my power is back

yay

AH I DIDNT SEE

“oh hello.” Elise smiles at Jack. “i don’t really care for all of the dancing. What about yourself?”

aH

claire laughed lightly as they spun about the dance floor. “self taught? that must have been difficult,” she said.

jack thought for a moment. “it’s alright i suppose. but i’d rather a more upbeat tune.”

Jacob shrugged. “yeah, I’m the youngest in my family, the only boy. no dad. so I was a bit neglected. none of my sisters could tolerate me and my mom was always busy so I just observed until I knew how to dance.” he blushed. “I usually practiced with my stuffed animals.” he spun her around and continued dancing.

claire smiles as they continued to dance. “i have two older sisters. they’ve taught me everything. we’re awfully close i guess.”

Jacob smiled slightly. “lucky you.” and he spun her around again.

Alexandria looked at all the people in the room.

Haley kept dancing. her dancing didn’t match the music but she did it anyway. she got a few nasty stares but she didn’t care.

Zia stood off to the side and looked at her feet.

“what happened to your dad?” claire asked quietly. “if you don’t mind me asking, that is.”

caroline took a break from her mingling, accepting a champagne flute from one of the nearby footmen.

Jacob nodded. “it’s perfectly fine. he got sick when I was around 3?” he thought. “didn’t make it.”

“oh, i’m sorry,” claire said. “my parents have never been a huge part of my childhood. that is, until i made my debut.”

“oh dang.” Jacob sighed. “so we’re sorta in the same boat?”

lol hey there

omg hii

hey guys :)

“yes, of course.” Elise briefly glances at the Musicians before looking back at Jack. “it’s a bit boring isn’t it?”

hiii

hii :)

my school got approved to go back full time today with social distancing & masks😌

“definitely,” jack said with a lopsided smile. he took the seat next to her. “i’m jack tablot.”

claire sighed. “i guess so,” she thought for a moment. “i never understood it, handing off your children to nannies and governesses. what’s the sense in it all?”

“it’s a pleasure to meet you Mr.Tablot. I’m Elise Evreux.” She smiles at him.

Jacob shrugged. “I don’t know. when they don’t have time for us, extra precautions are needed, I guess? which doesn’t make it right, but... I don’t really know.”

“same of you, lady elise,” jack said with a glint in his eye. “what bring you to the ball tonight?”

brings**

“i suppose you’re right,” claire said, then she smiled. “but we came out alright, didn’t we?”

Jacob laughed and nodded. “I think so.”

an active rp-

why hello

lol sorta active

we’re trYing

well I applaud you for your efforts

aHhh

claire smiled as they spun around the room, the song slowly coming to an end. as they parted she said, “it was a pleasure to meet you, sir jacob.”

Jacob nodded and kissed her hand. “pleasure to meet you too, LaDy Claire.” and then he smirked, walking away.

“Well,” Elise pauses. “my mother and father told me, no, forced me to come. They said it would be a great opportunity for me to meet my future husband. I’m only 19, I think i’m far too young to get married. I’d like to travel the world before finding my husband.” Elise smiles as her face lights up as she begins to talk about traveling.

Zia raised her eyebrow at Caroline, who looked quite familiar and reminded her of herself, in a way, just a bit more social. she looked at the ground and huffed. then she looked at Alexandria. what a show off, she thought. then Zia proceeded to think about how she could run away and start a self-made people watching career, but then she realize that the idea was pointless and would just make her less respectable. she silenced her thoughts and made her way to the other side of the room for no reason at all.

what’s up mushrooms

m u s h r o o m s

hello human beings i have returned from my random week long dissapearance :)

hey there lads :). i’ve been doing summer reading and an ap history outline, so i haven’t really been active on social media

“really?” jack said, raising his eyebrows slightly. “travel the world? if my grandmother had heard that a lady had wanted to travel the world just a year after their debut, well, she’d be on the floor.” he thought for a moment. “although i must say, i’m intrigued.”

caroline smiled at the guest she was talking to, aware that someone had been watching her. she said her goodbyes politely to the guest, walking across the room. talking to some of these people was more like a task than providing any enjoyment. she grabbed a fresh champagne flute from a tray, sipping slowly, watching the crowd of people in the ballroom.
